Good morning faithful readers.
I must apologize for the blogging interruption. The plan was to go on a lovely choral retreat to the Banff Centre – including a attending a Master Class on solo singing, and workshops with the estimable Lona Larson, Eva Bostrand, and Micheal Zaugg. It was going to be a wonderful learning opportunity nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
Did not happen for me though. Why? Because one of my fellow choristers decided that coming to rehearsal ill was more important that not spreading the cold he had to the rest of the choir. AKA – Yours truly.
Vocal production – singing – produces a great deal of micro-dropplets and if you happen to be contagious spreads them far and wide. Thus, the cold I caught manifested itself on the Thursday before last weekends trip meaning I had to to exclude myself for the health of the rest of the participants.
I don’t vacation much, so this is one of the rare times I leave my home base and get out in the world. It just wasn’t meant to be.
So, while recuperating at home, I heard some of the buzz around a new online game called Hell Divers 2. In the depths of being cold miserable I decided, what hell (divers) might as well try a new video game.
Well HD2 was quite a pleasant surprise. A nice gameplay loop topped with a very Starship Troopers over the top setting. Thus, last week instead of singing, working, or blogging, I was busy bringing Managed Democracy to the galaxy. :>
So all was not last friends, all was not lost.
